I want to replace my serial mouse with a ps2 mouse in order to make a
second serial port available (I could solve the problems when I tried to
use a second serial card to provide two extra serial ports).
The ps2 mouse is recognized by the MSDOS-software. On Linux, I started by
configuring gpm to refer to /dev/psmouse. After that, as soon as I move
the mouse, the keyboard stops working and I have to reset the computer. I
did not even have the chance to try the mouse in XF86Config.
Do I have to recompile the kernel to use a ps2 mouse? How can the mouse
disable my keyboard?
I have a mixed slink/potato system.
Any hints will be welcome.

"The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh
me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside
the still waters, he restoreth my soul...Surely
goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my
life; and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for
ever." Psalms 23:1,2,6
